Just an embellishment cluster. I mixed a lot of the tags together. The "picture perfect" was cut down from a frame shape.

And yes, the owl really doesn't go with anything, but he matched and I liked him, so he got put there! Just think of night owls! LOL

AND
Over on the 3 Birds Design's Studio blog, we are celebrating National Scrapbook Day all week long! There are projects by all of us, plus a new release to be revealed. And….there might even be a giveaway! Head over to the blog HERE to check it out each day.

Have a great Wednesday. Do you know what day it is?? HUMP DAY!!! Woot!!

Popping in late here Saturday night, with a fun little baby card using Imaginisce goodies from the My Baby collection (boy).

I spotted this cute cut file in the Silhouette store and just had to make this baby boy card. I don't know of anyone having a baby boy anytime soon, so it will go into the "pile" of unused cards. Yes, I have a pile and occasionally I pull them out and use them!

Today is "take two" on the blog for projects with AdornIt. Don't faint, I did a two page layout! AND I did it WITHOUT A SKETCH and it only took me about an 1.5 hours! Trust me, I was so happy I could have screamed. And just a little proud of myself, because I usually always will use a sketch for a two page layout!

I have had these pictures printed for about TWO years! This was when Sheldon first came to be here and I know I printed them pretty quickly after I took them! These papers are from the "Timerland Critters" collection and I think this was one of my favorites. I cannot decide if I love the fox or squirrel more!

Welcome to Thursday here on the blog! Anyone glad it's Friday tomorrow?!! I know I am. It's been a crazy week and I am looking forward to the weekend. And of course a little scrapping thrown in also!

Well, as you probably guessed by my title, I have a 3 Birds Design project for you, which means I am also up over on the 3 Birds Studio Blog today! I used basically the same photo on both of my projects, but the projects are totally different. I did an altered clipboard for my other project and you can find it HERE.

I am not usually one to use a lot of shapes in my layouts. I am talking hexagons, circles, triangles, etc. But I just "felt" like doing something different and stepping out of my comfort zone for this layout. I think it may have been the bold black and white striped paper!

I used my Cameo to cut out a couple of different sized triangles out of the pattern papers I chose. Then I just started layering.

I layered a couple of the chipboard pieces here. The bronze color on the lettering brought out the orange strip behind the photo. I also changed my photo to black and white for a little something different.

Thanks for stopping by the little ole blog today! I will have the last of my Adornit projects for you. Anddddd…there might just be a double page layout in them!!! Happy Thursday!

Sharing a couple of projects that I did for AdornIt over on their blog last week. They have some really fun collections and I have some they sent that I didn't use, so you will be seeing more AdornIt on here, I am sure!

This first layout is with the Rainy Days & Sunshine collection. I thought it was perfect for these pictures from our photo shoot, because as you can see, it was a little wet! We weren't even sure we were going to get to have it, but everything worked out. It's hard to believe that it has almost been a year since these were taken!

Next up, I altered a box with some leftovers I had from a layout (you will see that in a few days!). This was a box from Valentine's day that I had hung onto, just in case I wanted to make something with it!

Well, this post was sitting in the "queue"! It was in draft mode and didn't post. My bad for not scheduling it.

We had a Pinterest challenge over at ThermOWeb blog and this was the layout I came up with. If you want to see the process of how I did it, my original posting is located HERE.

These were just some random pictures I had taken of Higgins on the couch. Not the best, but I was able to clean them up enough in Lightroom to use them. I love the look on his face! We will be glad when he gets back to himself after this ACL tear.

It is an umbrella kind of day here on the blog! I am sharing a card that I made for 3 Birds with the Graceful Season collection.

They say April showers bring May flowers, but since we haven't had a lot of those yet, I did a card with an umbrella theme. And I am up over on the 3 Birds Studio blog with a layout full of umbrellas! You can find that posting HERE.

I am so far behind on sharing my Gossamer Blue layouts. The "blogging" break did not help that at all! This layout is one that I did with my December kit, I think?! I would look it up for sure, but I am blogging from the couch and just too darn lazy to go get the external hard drive to look it up!

I loved this paper that was in the kit and wanted to use it as a focal point of my layout. I kept everything to a minimum, which is unusual for me!

Supplies-I am just not going to list them this time. Everything is pretty much from the kit, except the following: Twine, Adhesive, Ribbon, Doily.

I thought the little "hi" flair was cute and wanted to use it with the picture. Looks like Sheldon has just come up to say "hi" to Higgins!

Used a Uniball Signo pen in white to journal with. I have got to get me a couple more of those pens!

And in other news, I was asked to guest design for AdornIt! My posts will be up over on their blog all this week. They have such cute papers and I had a lot of fun creating with them. You can find their blog HERE.

It's the My Baby release party this week on the Imaginisce blog and I had a layout up over there yesterday. I know, BABY layout?! From me?! Yes, I do know people that have babies and not just people that have dogs!

This is an adorable set of twins that you have seen here on the blog before. These are some of the only baby pictures they have, since they were adopted. I wanted to combine them on the page, but for each to have a "separate" area. Since there are color combos for both boy and girl, it worked perfectly!

I am digging view master die cuts, so you may see a few more of them from me! I love this one, since it has the hearts instead of squares. And I was happy that the doily fit right behind it and showed just a little.

I will be back tomorrow with an Imaginisce layout. And yes, I have already scheduled the post! Have a great day!
